Review
Alright, let's dive into Nothing but Thieves' latest offering, 'Dead Club City'! This baby dropped on June 30, 2023, and it's got everyone buzzing. The Essex boys have really outdone themselves this time, cooking up a whole fictional city in their minds and laying it down on wax.
Picture this: you're wandering through a members-only city that's equal parts funky and fucked up. That's the vibe these guys are going for, and they nail it. They've mixed up their usual guitar-heavy sound with some slick synths and cinematic vibes. 'Welcome to the DCC' and 'Keeping You Around' are standouts - they'll have you grooving one minute and questioning society the next.
The cool thing about 'Dead Club City' is how it came together. The band holed up in some fancy country house in Essex for months, just jamming and creating. It shows in the final product - everything flows together like a damn good story. Sure, some fans are still hung up on 'Moral Panic', but give this album a few spins. It might just grow on you like it did on me. It's different, yeah, but isn't that what we want from our fave bands? To keep pushing forward? Nothing but Thieves are doing just that, and I'm here for it. - Madi
